Compcache really doesn't have an impact on performance as far as I can see it use 18% all the time just more "ram"
[HTC Aria Android Development] kabell4:
I wouldn't say that there is anything out of the ordinary. Nothing else change in performance, no rogue app, davlik was moved using s2e.

So whats different in SmartAss2 to 1?
[HTC Aria Android Development] kabell4:
Ok, on QUADRANT I got 1204 @ 806/245 using smartass2. and 1183 @ 806/245 using OnDemand.

Much better. At least we're measuring using the same app. :)

EDIT: 1272 @ 806/245 using smartass2 and 10% compcache and 1235 @18% compcache. 1166 @787/245 using smartass2 and 10% compcache.

1218 @ 787/245 using smartass2 and 0% <--- I'll stick with this for now.
[HTC Aria Android Development] drowningchild:
i think its actually called "smoothass" but i cherry picked from lorkclockans lordmodUE(ace kernel) for it (htc .35 kernels are pretty similar) he may have renamed it idk says its stricker and seems to put the device in "deep sleep" more but less when the cpu is actually being used, unlike the other bug in previous versions of my kernel, i say it works better than original better performance with the battery saving and no lag at all

also where i cherry picked the bfs commits
[HTC Aria Android Development] drowningchild:
new kernel should be coming tomorrow :)

An issue I'm having with 8-8, no matter what I set as the minimum CPU frequency, smartass2 won't go lower than 768. Other governors work fine though.
[HTC Aria Android Development] drowningchild:
This should be fixed today I just need to compile the kernel
[HTC Aria Android Development] boxcar8028:
I have always been vary happy with the performance of the stock cm7 and had never thought of flashing a OC kernel before. But last night I decided to try your Kernel 88 and I was blown away! I mean it was amazing how super smooth my aria is now. The first thing I noticed was how fast she booted back up and how fast all of my widgets loaded, it was like so fast. and the scrolling is so smooth. great job Mr Drowningchild. And if you have any advice for the performance, compcache ram usage and VM heap settings will be most appreciated. thank you. :D

[HTC Aria Android Development] AlbinoAsian:
I just noticed that in setcpu program it says set on boot is checked, but in the cyanongen performance options its unchecked. Do I even need to use set CPU, would I be better of just using the built in settings editor?
[HTC Aria Android Development] unsivil_audio:
IMO, there hasn't been a need for Setcpu on our phones for some time.
[HTC Aria Android Development] CallMeAria:
If you're not using profiles then you can get rid of setcpu and just the built in controls.

Sent from my cm7 Aria.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Jimmeh83:
Currently on n114 with the 8-8 kernel using the new smartass2. 245-806.

Finding that the screen is quite slow to wake on incoming calls when coming from (what I presume to be) a deep sleep state. The phone rang for 4 or 5 seconds with me desperately trying to answer.

I don't recall having this problem using the original smartass. Not sure if there is way that sort of thing can be prioritized or improved at all, just thought I'd post my findings as a heads up.
[HTC Aria Android Development] DroidRunner:
Can't get my score above 1280. That's awesome, but I thirst for more
[HTC Aria Android Development] cHarley04:
Did you try another governor, like Interactive, to see if that made a difference?
[HTC Aria Android Development] CallMeAria:
This is why I ditched smartass altogether and just use tasker to control my cpu. I set it to 120/245 screen off with a conservative governor and 320/786 screen on ondemand. No problems at all with tasker controlling it rather than the kernel. I also have it clock the cpu down to 245/600 conservative if the battery gets low. My battery very easily gets through the day and it still flies using this setup and a couple other profiles to control sync, wifi, gps, screen brightness and rotation.

[HTC Aria Android Development] lsusparky621:
What settings do you have use in "CM settings--Performance--CPU settings" for tasker's CPU settings to take precendence over "CM settings--Performance--CPU settings?"
[HTC Aria Android Development] mikelebz:
Is smartass fixed or will that be an 8-9?

thanks,

[HTC Aria Android Development] cHarley04:
None, Tasker will have priority and override the settings in Performance > CPU Settings.

i can open it up to the default clock speeds ;) i just left it @ 806 max(768 boot) as that is most devices max

ive even compiled it to go 920mhz max(dirty) for someone with an espresso

Then hit 806 again and 120 or whatever your setting. When selecting smartass2 it scales 120 - 768 by default so you have to re- click you clock speeds.

Smartass2 seems to be working well for me from what I can understand (I haven't clocked it to see if it is staying at 787 while on or anything). I am getting the best battery life (8-7BFS Smartass2 with 7.0.3). I can get anywhere from 12-16 hours of battery life depending on how much I play with my phone each day. Everything seems smooth as well.

Yo might be a dumb question but is 8-9-1 a bfs kernel?

It's bfs unless stated otherwise
[HTC Aria Android Development] brswattt:
could this work on 2.2.2?
[HTC Aria Android Development] DroidRunner:
Negative
[HTC Aria Android Development] s0be:
You could always nandroid and try. I know my 2.6.35 kernels on Heroc worked on 2.2 roms (reported, I never personally tested).

Any particular reason? (If this is anykernel based, it doesn't include an actual boot.img, but rather updates the in place boot.img)
[HTC Aria Android Development] drowningchild:
from what i heard it was used to get sense 2.1 rom booted :)
[HTC Aria Android Development] darknessrise1234:
I don't think it'll work for 2.2.2 though as it is a gingerbread kernel, not froyo
[HTC Aria Android Development] cHarley04:
Has anyone else noticed that with this kernel, SetCPU and the latest CM7 nightlies, that there is a conflict when setting Smartass or Smartass2?

Using SetCPU to select Smartass, sets Smartass2 in CM7 Performance settings, and setting Smartass in CM7 Performance settings, sets Smartass2 in SetCPU.

Edit: yea, I know your not supposed to use them together, but I haven't seen this issue before.

Isn't using SetCPU and cyanogenmods cpu setting a bit redundant and asking for issues anyway?

Sent from my HTC Liberty S
[HTC Aria Android Development] DroidRunner:
Setcpu overides CyanogenMods CPU setting. They don't interfere with each other
[HTC Aria Android Development] boxcar8028:
what does this mean? is this the end of the line for a new OC kernel on aria? is this the best of the best for us? if true, sad day. sad day indeed, for there's no more aria kernel to conquer :confused:
[HTC Aria Android Development] cHarley04:
I guess I'd rather look at the bright side. The 8-9-1 kernel runs great IMO, and I'm appreciative to have been able to benefit from Drownings outstanding work.

The only flaw I see, and I'm not sure if it's the kernel or CM7, is that setting the smartass governors is apparently backwards when set with CM vs SetCPU. (Set Smartass in CM and SetCPU shows Smartass2 and vice verse). This use to work correctly, but got messed up with the latest nightlies the past few weeks.

Thanks again Drowning for all your work here. :)
[HTC Aria Android Development] boxcar8028:
yeah, I totally agree with you. not complaining. its like a good movie, hate to see it end. compare to the original AT$T phone my little aria is so super awesome now. all the hard work drowningchild put into this amazing kernel is most appreciated.

last night I flashed n146 and was planning to run with just the stock cm7 for a while, no OC kernel. it was okay, cm7 is nice and all, but its not the same. well, this lasted for about two hours at the most and I couldn't take it any more, had to flash OC 8.9.1

I mean there's no way around it, this kernel just simply kills :D

thank you.
[HTC Aria Android Development] DroidRunner:
The stock kernal can overclock, just to let you know. It overclocks to 844
[HTC Aria Android Development] boxcar8028:
yeah, I know. maybe its all in my head but the stock cm kernel for me is not the same as DC's. its not even the over clocking that I'm looking for, its the smoothness. on my aria cm7 with 8.9.1 is like butter :)
[HTC Aria Android Development] cHarley04:
+1 - "Buttery smooth" and virtually no lag, pretty much sums it up.

[HTC Aria Android Development] drowningchild:
im sure theyre will be another kernel that comes along, and if it does i will gladly compile it for the liberty :D

Thank you
[HTC Aria Android Development] tommyguns818:
I have dumb quetion.......

I was wondering if anybody can explain what the difference in between smartass and smartass2 in drowningmans 8.9.1? like the screen off and on freq settings between the two. Ive been searching and nothing really says anything. :confused: . thxs
[HTC Aria Android Development] lateral18:
i have the version 8-9-1 and everything works but the wi fi , which i think is weird , any suggestion on what i can do?
[HTC Aria Android Development] tommyguns818:
Also I noticed when using smartass2, 787 and 600 MHz are never used (using cpu spy). It jumps from 480 to 806. As for smartass is uses 787 mhz but no 600. Very interesting. Still don't know the screen off freq between the two.mmmmmmm
[HTC Aria Android Development] dandrumheller:
I'm just dredging this up from memory, but I think smartass runs from your set minimum up to 320 with screen off ( biased to lower clock speeds) and from 480 to your set max with screen on ( heavily biased to high clock speeds).

My extremely limited use of smartass2 appeared to ignore my set maximum of 600 and max at 787 instead.

Hope that helps a little. I sort of remember a post by drowning child that explains this in his kernel thread i think...
[HTC Aria Android Development] tommyguns818:
^^^^^ Dans the man. Thxs so much. I'm using og smartass and is doing great. Great work Tony! Btw, I like how screen off min isn't pegged at 400. At least for 8.9.1. Its whatever your min is set to, if I could remember. Also like using no setcpu app. :)
[HTC Aria Android Development] lateral18:
@ drowningchild

Question just to make sure does the kernel supports init.d to run a script to optimize the ram .??

the Kernel i flashed is working great, is fast and the battery life has improve , but i have no wi-fi , it says scaning. nothing else doesnt really happens. but do i need to have s-off for the kernel to work properly ? before i flashed it i did a cache and dalvik wipe. is there something i should try ? i am going to try the other version 8-9 . hopefully it works .
[HTC Aria Android Development] DroidRunner:
I flash the kernal with no wipes at all. Try that.
[HTC Aria Android Development] lateral18:
no luck , same result , i am trying the other one .
[HTC Aria Android Development] DroidRunner:
Do you have a hidden network at home or anything?
[HTC Aria Android Development] lateral18:
no the network is visible , I even used it before with the other kernel that came in the rom.
[HTC Aria Android Development] DroidRunner:
I dunno man. Either try downloading 8-9-1 again or try the one in the original post (8-8)

Other than that, no clue. Try PM-ing Drowningchild if he dosent already see this.
[HTC Aria Android Development] lateral18:
man , no luck either , none of them work , 8-8 , 8-9 , 8-9-1 . lets wait till Drowningchild answers it .
[HTC Aria Android Development] tommyguns818:
@ lateral18. I'd nandroid, wipe cache and dalvik. Then reflash current nightly then drownings 8.9.1 kernel. See if that fixes it.
[HTC Aria Android Development] lateral18:
I don't want CM7, I like the sense Rom , but what I can do is flash the kernel from 2.2.2 when I need the wi fi, the kernel is worth it , the battery life and performance is better . Even the gps locks faster . I was surprise I got a 945 In quadrant standard , that is the best I've got so far. I want to try those performance scripts for the RAM ,
